The events of 2020/21 are likely to have already changed your business and working practices. The forthcoming Business Plan, shaped by the extensive consultation during and post lockdown with you our levy paying businesses, reflects the outcomes of those conversations and the priorities you have identified for St Peters Quarter.
For the past 10 years, St Peters Quarter BID has contributed to the growth and transformation of the area and its identity is now established and recognised. Our focus for our third term will be to build on this work so that St Peters Quarter is considered to be the ‘Heart of Derby’ and a welcoming place for visitors and an attractive place to do business.
Even before COVID town and city centres were facing many challenges and changes have accelerated over the last eighteen months. Derby of course has not been immune to these. However, St Peters Quarter has much to look forward to, not least because of the major developments and investment which are taking place in and around the area.
St Peters Quarter BID along with its steadfast support for our businesses is committed to making St Peters Quarter a destination in its own right, which complements the offer of Cathedral Quarter and Derbion. This Business Plan sets out our core priorities to benefit businesses for our next term.
We can only achieve this with your continued support, so I would urge all businesses to vote YES in the forthcoming ballot.
